Application filed January 11, 1919.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JAMES PARKHILL, of the city of Niagara Falls, in the State of New York, United States of America, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Belt-Supports, of which the following is the specification.

My invention relates to improvements in belt supports and the obj ect of the invention is to devise a simple invisible means for securely holding a mans belt in its proper.

place so that it will securely grip the trousers and be neat in appearance and comfortable to wear and it consists essentially of the following arrangement and construction of parts as hereinafter more particularly explained.

Figure 1, is a perspective view of my device showing its application.

Fig. 2, is a perspective detail of the supplemental belt with which the ordinary belt engages.

Fig. 3, is a front elevation of the front portion of the belt showing the means for connecting the ends of the belt together.

Fig. 4, is an enlarged vertical sectional detail through my supporting structure.

In the drawings like characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the various figures.

1 indicates an ordinary belt which passes around the trouser top 2 and the body of the wearer in the usual manner. 3 indicates a supplemental belt which is worn beneath the shirt of the wearer and directly under the ordinary belt 1. The supplemental belt 3 is provided with a surrounding groove 3* formed by the side flanges or ribs 3 and 3 into which groove the ordinary belt 1 is drawn when tightened thereby forcing the intervening portion of the shirt and treusers into the groove in the position clearly shown in Fig. 4.

5 indicates an ordinary pair of suspenders connected to the usual buttons 3 and 3 which are ordinarily located at the back of the trousers and the side buttons 3 and 3 which are ordinarily located at each side of the trousers. The ends of the belt 3 may be connected together by any suitable means. In the drawing I have shown a hollow re- Specification of Letters Patent.

ceiving socket 3 formed at one end of the belt and a portion 3 at the opposite end of the belt provided with a tongue 3 adapted to fit into the socket 3, the hollow socket 3 and portion 8 and the tongue being preferably formed to correspond to the shape of the belt so as to provide a continuous groove running therearound.

It will thus be seen that when my supplemental belt is supported by the suspenders 5 in the position shown and the ordinary belt tightened so as to force the upper portion of the trousers and the corresponding portion of the shirt into the groove 3* that a very secure connection will be formed which will hold the trousers securely in place, which will be. neat, being absolutely invisible and will be comfortable to the wearer.

lVhat I claim as my invention is 1. A belt support comprising a supplemental belt adapted to be worn beneath the shirt and having means with which the ordinary belt of the wearer engages when drawn tight and adapted to be connected to an ordinary pair of suspenders Worn beneath the shirt. t

2. A belt support comprising a supplemental belt adapted to be worn beneath the shirt and to be supported by a pair of suspenders and having a surrounding groove in its outer face into which the upper portion of th trousers, the shirt and ordinary belt are adapted to be forced by the tightening of the ordinary belt around the body of the wearer.

3. A belt support comprising a supplemental belt adapted to be worn beneath the shirt and to be supported by an ordinary pair of suspenders and having a longitndinal groove extending from end to end, means for connecting the ends of the supplemental belt together having a grooved portion forming a continuation of the groove of the belt and into which groove the ordinary belt, the trousers and shirt of the wearer are adapted to be forced when the ordinary belt is tightened around the body of the wearer.
